Who We Are

Juan has lived in the United States as a lawful permanent resident since age 13. Either enrolled in school or working, Juan spent his entire adult life in the United States working to better himself and to support his family, all of whom live in the United States. He quickly learned English, maintained steady employment, and was a dedicated father to his US citizen daughters. Unfortunately, in late 2012, Juan made a string of bad choices which landed him in jail.
